Masters will resume early Friday after Thursday morning rain delay
Tiger Woods was playing well but was one of the golfers unable to complete their opening round at Augusta National.
AUGUSTA, GA. – The first round of the 2024 Masters will resume at 6:50 a.m. Central time Friday.
Thursday’s play was delayed by 2½ hours because of rain. The Friday forecast is for morning sun and afternoon winds with no rain.
Play was suspended on at 6:51 p.m. Central on Thursday due to darkness with 27 players still having to complete the first round. ESPN will resume live coverage at 7 a.m. Friday and continue through the end of the first round. Second-round coverage on the network will begin at 2 p.m.
Among those who did not finish the first round were Nicolai Hojgaard of Denmark, who is 5 under par, in third place and two off the lead, and Max Homa, who is tied for third at 4 under.
Five-time Masters winner Tiger Woods looks remarkably sharp, and was 1 under through 13 holes.
Some notes from Thursday:
• Scottie Scheffler did not make a bogey and is second at 6 under.
• Homa had never broken par in his first nine holds at the Masters. Thursday, he was 4 under after nine.
• I have a column on Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler, and a sidebar on former Gopher Erik van Rooyen.
• Check back on startribune.com for coverage through my Tuesday morning wrapup of the tournament.
Frankie Capan III, who will be playing on the PGA Tour next year, finished at 13 under par at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship.
